(Hope I posted this in the correct forum)
Surely she can she get the medical clinic to write up something for her? Otherwise it would be touch and go. The worst is they would take it away, and she'd have to replace it in Vegas. I think it's something a pharmacist can give you without prescription.
My last bee sting was one that flew into my arm while I was resting it on the driver's windowsill. Within minutes I was extremely dizzy, so I pulled over just before passing out. A kind stranger drove me home. First I knew I was allergic. So I worried for years and years and but never had another sting, nor did I carry the kit because I was stupid.
After having an unexpected reaction to amoxicillian, and discovering lots and lots of Benadryl worked miracles, I now rely on carrying Benadryl in case of a bee sting. I think it will give me time to get help, if not resolve the problem.
It also helps with my allergic reaction to having my hair frosted, and can be used as a sleep aid.
Let us know what you find out, and win a bunch in Vegas!
